I am looking to add a local database file (.sdf) into my .NET Project.
- I right click on my project, click “Add” -> “New Item”
- Select “Local Database” and rename it to what I want.
- I click the “Add” button and get the following error
“The data provider required to connect to the local data file could
not be found. The file will be added to the project but the typed
DataSet assosciated with the file will not be generated.”
I am using Visual Studio 2008 .NET Framework 3.5
Could anyone please advise as to why this is happening?
I ran a repair on Visial Studio and it seems to have fixed the problem.
